On behalf of my brothers & sister, we are sorry for the loss of your Mom. We are distant cousins on the O'Hallahan side of the family -- your great-grandfather & our grandmother (Margaret O'Hallahan) were siblings -- your grandfather Biff and our dad, Bob were cousins. May you find comfort in the days ahead knowing your Mom and Dad are together again in Heaven, along with all of our loved ones. Peace & Blessings - Debbie

My heart broke when I saw Liz's obituary in the paper. Jennifer, Sarah, and Maureen I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a wonderful lady. She always had such an upbeat, positive attitude, and was so fun to be with. I know she will be dearly missed by all your family and by her many friends. I will keep you all in my prayers. I have so many good memories of your mom -- and many nice remembrances around my house from things I bought at her store years ago. My most sincere condolences. Cathi Vacek

What a Joy to have had Liz and Gail Walter in my life !! I will certainly cherish all the years with both of you, in Kansas City, Phoenix, and the Lake. Such a happy and generous couple. May God find that special heavenly place for you both to be together again. You and your family will always be in my prayers.

My condolences to the Walter family. So sorry for your loss. I used to work with Liz at Dillons grocery store about 10-15 years ago. She was the sweetest person you could work with and for. So sorry to hear about this.
